About

Harrison Park Pool (Indoor) is a public aquatic facility located at 1824 S Wood St in Chicago, IL, within Harrison Park. As an indoor pool, it provides year-round access for community members for recreational swimming, lessons, and various aquatic programs, managed by the Chicago Park District.

Specific and official published water temperatures for Harrison Park Pool are not consistently available to the public. However, indoor pools operated by the Chicago Park District generally aim to maintain water temperatures suitable for recreational swimming and lessons, often falling within the range of 80-82°F (26-28°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility highlight several positive aspects including well-maintained pool water, great coaches for swimming classes, good open swim hours, and a clean, community-centered environment with top-notch classes and welcoming staff. The facility also offers nice big lockers. However, there are notable criticisms: some parents find the rules regarding attire for non-swimming guardians to be inconsistent and contradictory, particularly concerning the requirement for bathing suits in some instances while others wait in regular clothes. The pool can also get busy during evening hours. Additionally, one review expresses a desire for free swimming classes, noting that their absence is a financial barrier for some families, though the reviewer understands the policy.

My daughter goes here to attend swimming classes. The water in the pool is pretty well maintained and the coaches are great.

It’s ridiculous that parents taking their children for a swim have to wear a bathing suit even if the parent is not going to swim just so you can be inside but the parents taking their children for swimming lessons can be inside with regular clothes, it’s a contradiction to their so called “rules” the rules should be equal to everyone and also have the parents wear a bathing suit even if their just waiting for their children’s lessosns to be done. I was not allowed inside for not having a bathing suit on but a parent waiting on her kid has tennis shoes and regular clothes on, this is a RIDICULOUS CONTRADICTION.

Good public swimming pool. The hours are pretty good for open swim. It tend to get a bit busy during the evening hours. Other than that it's a good facility. Nice big locker plenty of space.
